#SonicTheHedgehog fans and #DragonBall followers mourn the death of a beloved creative visionary. Akira Toriyama has died at the age of 68.

Toriyama, known for his unparalleled creativity and passion, leaves behind a rich legacy of manga titles and artworks that have captivated audiences worldwide, and earned the admiration of countless individuals in the #Sonic community.

The Super Saiyan transformation, a core pillar to Toriyama’s Dragon Ball series, was widely seen by Sonic fans as a major inspiration to Sonic, Shadow, and Silver's super transformations.

The artist succumbed to blood suffusion around the brain last Friday 1 March, according to a statement issued by his studio late Thursday night.

A private funeral service was held with close family members. His family requested privacy and refrained from engaging in interviews, but the studio promised a plan for a commemorative gathering to honour Toriyama’s life and work.
